I don’t like David Tennant, can’t put my finger on why he just seems a bit creepy. I’m sure he’s not I just don’t like him.

Mr Tumble 😂

Cannot stand Mr Tumble going back a lot of years ago he did a show at a big venue and my child had a meet and greet. My child was very young non verbal and not long recovering from major surgery at the time. He was with Andy from Andys big adventure who is so lovely. It was my partner and older siblings attending and they could take a pic. Partners phone was acting up it was blurry and he needed a second pic Mr Tumble was annoyed at this looked put out and hurry up. My child was the only meet and greet it took 5 minutes tops I am glad I was not there.

I do like Lucy Worsley's programmes, the one on witches was good, but the trotting along with her briefcase gets on my nerves

Smug
Fake humility
It's all about him (him and his fawning acolytes)

I've heard lots of things like that about Mr Tumble, from when my kids were tiny and he was a big thing. His entire career depended on little kids. You'd think he'd have a bit of humility. When you look at the careers of the Horrible Histories original crew, also from.that time, genuine nice people who are talented too, they have broken into the mainstream. Maybe being a twat to children when your career depends on it doesnt pay off after all.

He can get off the TV then can’t he if he’s not bothered 😂

It’s so cringe watching him try to be cool and funny. Uurrgghhh!!!

🤣

I know Claudia Winkelman and she is absolutely lovely. Charming, modest, funny, and very clever. So it’s hard to imagine anyone not liking her.

I cannot bear many of the people mentioned.

Primarily, Lily James (such a fucking big head), Michelle Keegan (plastic, talentless), and Rita Ora (pointless)

Worst men would be Matt Lucas (creepy vibes), Eammon Holmes (tax evader), and Trevor McDonald (no idea why)

I think Claudia seems lovely.

PrawnDumplings · 11/02/2024 12:58

What are your thoughts on Noel Fielding? My friend thinks he is guilty by association with a certain beardy "guru" conspiracy theorist.

The constant shots of her walking looking up at ceilings and buildings are very annoying.

Robbie Williams

Robbie Williams always looks to me like he could explode in temper at any time. Looks volatile

Isn't that just his eyebrows?

Most of these have clear explanations

Amanda Holden - annoying

Stacey Dooley - awful person, patronising, fake, disingenuous persona – the little girl voice vs strong vibes of actually being a massive c**t

Cheryl Cole - nothing obvious tbf, maybe a bit pleased with herself

Noel Edmonds - don’t mind him but yeah, he was never gonna be everyone’s cup of tea. Where do you start? No explanation required

Will I Am - doesn’t bother me but can see how others might find him annoying

herbaceous · 11/02/2024 18:12

I remember Amanda Holden being described once as a 'weeping waxwork'.

My son and his friends have met Justin/Mr Tumble lots of times and he's been lovely with them. They videocalled us so Mum and I could say hello too.

I do think Naomi Campbell would be a horror.

Februaryfeels · 11/02/2024 20:06

@IwishIcouldfinishabook All good points

The Horrible Histories lot have gone on to be universally loved and applauded for their humour and pathos. So talented.

Mr Tumble. Who's he again?🤣🤣🤣

MamaGarl85 · 11/02/2024 20:09

We went to a children's festival where Mr Tumble was the "headline" act, he was 45 minutes late on to stage then did 3 songs, barely engaged with the crowd and then left!

In past threads whenever I have mentioned 'mr tumble' and my dislike for him my posts get removed. He probably comes on here a lot

I used to like Katherine Ryan but I’ve had enough now. Yes, we are all aware you have three kids - but of them is a teenager. So you had two babies close together and now you’re co-sleeping and breast feeding and it’s so hard and you’re so busy.

Solution - hire a couple of nannies (she probably has but that doesn’t make for interesting TV) and just change the subject please. Lots of women are doing what you’re doing right now but with less money and help. Go back to stand up or game shows or whatever.

Timothee Chalomet - I have a problem with his name. Double e and no y? Aargh! It looks so wanky and “artistic” I can’t bear it.

Same as Kym Marsh, it’s Kim, stop trying to be different!

I actually like Katherine Ryan. So nice have the kids thing normalised. You never get anyone admitting to cosleeping.

Newsenmum · 11/02/2024 20:24

Shocked about David tennant. He comes across as so down to earth!

CorBlimeyGuvna · 11/02/2024 20:56

I don’t have kids. Who TF is Mr Tumble 😂😂😂

So far as I can tell from MN he’s a creepy wrong un with no manners, an anger issue and poor people skills who everyone takes their kids to meet

Northernsouloldies · 11/02/2024 20:58

You asked what I was thinking. 😁
